If America Needed A New National Anthem…Who Should Write It? [VIDEO]

Josh — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:08:28 +0000

The "Star Spangled Banner", our country's national anthem. Penned by Francis Scott Key back in 1812 during the War of 1812. It's a beautiful song which has been sung by many, perfected by a few (of course, Whitney Houston) and butchered by a handful (namely, Roseanne Barr). For me, the "Star Spangled Banner" and "America The Beautiful" are the two best patriotic songs our country has. If we were ever to switch national anthems...I'd hope it would be "America The Beautiful." That finally brings me to the point of this post. Vanity Fair/60 Minutes conducted a survey which asked participants ...Q- "If the country were to have a new national anthem...Who should write it? The singer who was selected most frequently was....

Willie Nelson Turns 78!

Clay Moden — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 09:37:06 +0000

Happy birthday to Willie Nelson.I am sure if you asked most of today's country fans, they would tell you that Garth Brooks may have been the guy that brought them to country music. True, Garth may have been one of the most influential stars of our generation. However, I think since he came on the scene, Willie has been country music's greatest ambassador.Willie Nelson may have been accused of many things (pun intended) but, one thing you CAN'T say about the legendary Texan is that he is arrogant or vain.So much has changed in our music and our society. Willie Nelson has consistently kept it real. One of the highlights of my career was having the HONOR to introduce Willie Nelson to 100,000 fans at Jamboree In The Hills! I am not sure of the official count, but, it seems as tho Willie has recorded a duet with nearly every famous singer! Here are some of the all time great vintage duets with Willie!
